I am a cross-disciplinary artist
using fine arts, visual arts and the art of movement to make
live performance,
screendance and
live screendance installations.
My work explores
digital-live interactivity, kinaesthetic effect, the use of the senses in performance and the relationship between dance and film/video, amongst other areas of interest. My aim is to make the audience feel, both physically and emotionally.
My latest project
,
, is a solo public screendance live installation, which will be touring in Spring 2011. This project has received the generous support of
South East Dance (Mentor Bank Program),
The Nightingale Theatre and
Arts Council England.
I live on Brighton shores
, which I first hit in 2005. After my formative years in my home country, Greece, I moved to Barcelona in 2000, where I studied
Sculpture at the Massana School of Arts (2001-2004) and an
MA in Expression and Communication through Art at the School of Expression and Psychomotricity (2001-2002). In the UK, I graduated in
Dance and Visual Arts (BA) at the University of Brighton (2005-2008), and went on to gain an
MSc in Media Arts and Imaging: Screendance at the University of Dundee (2008-2009).
